Fan Profound Demon Emperor

Amid heaven and earth shrouded in demonic energy, a figure clad in purple-gold battle armor stood in the air, a spear in hand.

Another figure hung impaled upon that spear, the demonic energy around him dissipating wildly.

On the battlefield, after that thrust pierced heaven and earth, everyone's attention had been drawn toward it.

The other three battlefields paled in comparison.

Everyone present, whether Demon Emperor or Heavenly Sovereign, had been profoundly shaken by the battle, as though their souls had undergone a fierce baptism.

A Demon Emperor who had once stood high above all others had become nothing more than a backdrop for his opponent. In that opponent's hands, the Demon Emperor's cultivation seemed utterly insignificant.

"Heavenly Emperor, since he is your disciple, I assume he has cultivated One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones?" The Human Emperor gazed at Futu Yijing with admiration before turning to ask the Heavenly Emperor.

The Heavenly Emperor nodded with a smile.

"That's right."

"What a truly astonishing young man," the Human Emperor praised with a smile.

If he summoned the two clones of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, Futu Yijing's combat strength might even allow him to fight five opponents alone.

"Once this boy reaches the Three-Unity Realm, who knows how powerful he will become," the Heavenly Emperor said.

The Human Emperor pondered briefly at those words, then asked, "Heavenly Emperor, how long do you think it will take him to reach the Three-Unity Realm?"

Hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor understood what the Human Emperor had in mind.

"It won't take long. Are you thinking of passing your inheritance on to him?"

The Human Emperor nodded.

"That's right. I have great hopes for this boy's future. Perhaps he can reach the heights of the Undying Emperor."

The Heavenly Emperor considered this briefly and felt that it was highly possible.

Futu Yijing could already be considered to have received the inheritances of two of the ancient Nine Emperors. Perhaps before long, he would also obtain the Dragon Phoenix's inheritance. By then, this boy would possess the inheritances of three of the ancient era's greatest experts.

He was also cultivating the Endless Light Body, one of the five Primordial Dharma Bodies.

And his mastery of offensive combat was exceptional.

"Speaking of which, why does this boy still have his spiritual meridian?" the Human Emperor asked.

"I forgot to tell him. The boy doesn't seem to have realized the issue with his spiritual meridian at all," the Heavenly Emperor said, finding it rather amusing himself.

A Heavenly Sovereign who had not refined his spiritual meridian was, in fact, an incomplete Heavenly Sovereign. Yet Futu Yijing had never realized that he was incomplete.

Still, for this boy to defeat an Immortal Grade and slay Demon Emperors while only in an incomplete Heavenly Sovereign Realm was truly formidable.

"Honestly, once this is over, we must explain it to him properly. With such talent, he presumably has a divine-grade spiritual meridian," the Human Emperor said, shaking his head.

On the battlefield, after Futu Yijing fought two opponents alone and slew both Demon Emperors, the tide of battle began to turn, and the Sword Domain Expeditionary Army gradually seized control.

Futu Yijing clearly still had strength to spare after slaying the two Demon Emperors. Any battlefield he joined was swept clean as easily as crushing rotten wood.

But just then, another terrifying surge of boundless demonic energy filled heaven and earth.

Everyone looked up to see a figure wreathed in dense demonic energy. His overwhelming pressure blanketed them all, making their hearts sink.

A Profound Demon Emperor!!

The equivalent of an Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign!!

On the Sword Domain Expeditionary Army's side, including Futu Yijing, there was not a single Immortal Grade. The strongest was Yi Jian Heavenly Sovereign, a late Spirit Grade who was still some distance from Immortal Grade.

Even Futu Yijing's heart sank at the sight of a Profound Demon Emperor.

Although he had won his earlier battle against the Western Heaven War Emperor, they had mostly fought hand to hand. The Western Heaven War Emperor had not brought out many of his abilities, and they had merely exchanged a few blows. Beyond giving Futu Yijing a rough understanding of his own strength, that battle offered little else as a reference.

But now they faced a Profound Demon Emperor, and the moment the two sides met, they would fight until one side was dead.

In other words, a battle to the death against a Profound Demon Emperor awaited them!

Within the Demon Domain, this was hardly good news.

Still, that did not necessarily mean Futu Yijing was afraid.

Wine Sword Heavenly Sovereign and Blood Sword Venerable came to Futu Yijing's side, likewise staring gravely at the Profound Demon Emperor.

"We may be in trouble this time," Wine Sword Heavenly Sovereign said solemnly.

Futu Yijing nodded.

"Fan Profound Demon Emperor, we have lost two Demon Emperors this time. We must slay them here today, or they will bring endless trouble in the future." The Demon Emperor who had fought Wine Sword Heavenly Sovereign stared coldly at Futu Yijing and the others.

Fan Profound Demon Emperor looked indifferently at Futu Yijing and the others, as though they were ants he could crush with his bare hands.

"Before this emperor, you have no chance whatsoever. I can, however, grant you a dignified death."

"Even if you are a Profound Demon Emperor, you seem to be looking down on us a little too much. Deciding our fate just like that-aren't you rather too confident in your own strength?" Futu Yijing said evenly.

"You killed two Demon Emperors of my clan. Who are you?" Fan Profound Demon Emperor looked at Futu Yijing.

He was merely an early Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign. Even if his combat strength was formidable, the gap between their cultivation levels was considerable, so Fan Profound Demon Emperor regarded him with indifference.

"Someone from the Great Thousand World. Just a member of a later generation reclaiming the lands our ancestors lost."

As he spoke, two figures slowly stepped out of Futu Yijing's body. One wore black battle armor, the other white. Their auras were immensely powerful, both having reached the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.

Wine Sword Heavenly Sovereign and Blood Sword Venerable both looked stunned.

"One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones?" Both instantly thought of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, one of the Thirty-Six Peerless Divine Abilities.

Then a trace of joy appeared on their faces.

A Profound Demon Emperor certainly placed them under immense pressure, but the enemy's numbers had already dwindled to three Nether Demon Emperors and one Profound Demon Emperor.

Their own side now effectively had six Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereigns.

Yi Jian Heavenly Sovereign, a late Spirit Grade who commanded battle intent, could also hold the Profound Demon Emperor in check for a short time.

As long as they had time to slay the remaining three Nether Demon Emperors, it would not be impossible for six Spirit Grades to kill a Profound Demon Emperor.

"You three, I'll deal with the three Nether Demon Emperors. Combine your strength with the battle intent and hold the Profound Demon Emperor back. I'll finish the three Nether Demon Emperors as quickly as possible, then come help you," Futu Yijing said quietly.

As he spoke, a cold gleam flashed through Futu Yijing's eyes.

"Even if our expedition ends here, we must make the Outer Realm Evil Clan lose at least five Demon Emperors!"

Wine Sword Heavenly Sovereign and Blood Sword Venerable understood. They exchanged a glance and chose to trust that Futu Yijing could slay the other three Demon Emperors, then retreated toward the Sword Domain Expeditionary Army.

Two Heavenly Sovereign Spirit Bodies manifested in full view. One had a wine flask hanging at his waist, while the other held a blood-red sword. Both stood before the Sword Domain Expeditionary Army.

"A mantis raising its arms against a chariot!" Fan Profound Demon Emperor saw through their intentions as well. With a cold snort, he raised his hand and launched an attack toward the expeditionary army.

Futu Yijing split up with Black Piece and White Piece, charging toward the three Nether Demon Emperors to kill them.

Futu Yijing himself rushed straight toward the Nether Demon Emperor who controlled battle intent.
